My TV has optical digital audio out signal set to Ac3 but my receiver accepts only analog RCA input. Can I use this decoder to run my receiver?

this converts digital (optical) audio to analog as it says on the device. If your receiver takes RCA (analog) inputs it should work. I am using it on a TV with an optical out connected to an old pair of sony speakers with RCA inputs and it works fine.

Yes this device should work because it decodes AC3. Some cheaper units only convert the electrical signal. I purchased this one because I wanted it to work regardless of what the cable box is outputting/encoding.

Yes it should work. I had to buy this because my TV only has optical digital audio out and my old sound bar only has analog RCA input. I tried simply using an RCA to SPDIF cable but that didn't work and had to get this box to make it work.

This converter only does audio signals - you need a digital to analog video converter. Go here to see boxes for over he air conversion.

This didn't work for me. I have a TV with a digital output and a sound bar with rca inputs and optical inputs. I ended up buying a digital to optical converter for twenty five bucks. It works good.

It worked for me using the optical TV source converting it into simple RCA analog left & right cables. -- Wish I could give your mine, having sold my all but this :-)

I used mine to split the signal from the subwoofer in the 7.1 receiver to made a 7.2 surround sound receiver and it work just perfect, but I'm not sure if you can split a digital output into analog signal.sorry that I could not be more helpful. Good luck.

NO this does no conversion of analog devices to digital. this is now common across most sub $500 a/v receiver/amp combos now.

You'll need to buy a digital interface that will accept a Toslink input and output analog connectors that your AV Receiver will accept...unless you AV Receiver has an optical digital (Toslink) input somewhere on the back...which it should if it's not too old. I send the Toslink output to digital interface that converts it to coaxial digital output (bought on Amazon) and then on to a DAC that accepts the coax digital...said DAC then outputs with red and white analog outputs that go to my preamp (AVR for you). Check the back of your AVR and see it there's a optical digital (Toslink) input.

The 7030's D/A conversion is excellent. I hooked mine up to the analog inputs (>100db A s/n) of my recycled old 6.0 a/v receiver with 3 ft KabelDirekt RCA/RCA, a big $12 via Prime. Works great! Save your digital inputs for BD, etc.

It will work if your receiver have a DIGITAL RCA (ie not fiber optical) input.

Who knows....LOL. You asking the wrong guy. Copy and paste this link, it may help http://www.hometheaterforum.com/topic/130215-ac3-rf-is-not-digital-coax/

Yes, it should. This will convert the analog red/white AV output from your TV to the Digital optical signal. In my case I have a small Bluetooth audio receiver with analog output connected to the AV input side and the digital output is connected to the optical connection on my stereo. It works great.

If the cable box has an hdmi out on it, run it directly into your A/V receiver. If it does not have an hdmi out then yes, run the optical cable to the receiver.

You need a receiver that does HDMI Audio Decoding, which until recently has only been availabe in upper-echelon receivers. Most recently the Onkyo 605/605 and comparable Yamaha's and Denons do decode 5.1 and Dolby True HD / DTS Master Audio. If a receiver is labelled pass-through that means it won't be able to split off the audio from the HDMI signal and will just give it to the TV, and you'll have to use a separate digital optical or digital coaxial cable to send to the receiver from your DVD, DVR, Blu-ray, etc. Sucks doesn't it?

If using analog, yes. But if you are using optical out for example to your receiver, then the answer is no. You can only use 1 type of output at a time.

yes I got this device for that exact reason you need an optical cable and then just a pair of RCA and you are set. remember to take the caps off the optical cable before putting in the optical input on the boxes. look for digital optical cable on amazon. I got mine for about $5. good luck. works perfectly.

Yes. Make sure your receiver or TV is capable of it. I am using Pioneer Elite VSX-70 receiver and it is decoding DTS 7.1 and Dolby TrueHD. If you think your TV or receiver does not support these signal, you can downstream it to PCM (uncompressed) on audio settings.

I think so. The receiver will decode the audio from your cable box via HDMI. The one part I am not sure about is if this receiver will let you pass the HD signal through component video cables to your projection. However, that may not be an issue if you cable box has the component video out which I suspect you are using, you would just the cable from your Cable box to your TV.

Try the Pioneer website and look through the manual to see if it is possible. Cable box --&gt; HDMI --&gt; Receiver --&gt; component video --&gt; TV
